I would imagine there are different vesions but it is good practice. Better if you can speak French. Les daltoniens
I also thought an LOE wasn't required for a FALANT. My last med was done with a FALANT and nothing needed to be passed on to the FAA. The Doc said it was a perfectly acceptable test. I just hope this is still the case for those of us who use it. Hopefully your issue is just an administrative error that some one misinterpreted.
Funny, I went to that link, and I can see all but 1 or 2 of those numbers correctly! Maybe it's the monitor, but I never tried the Ishihara at an AME, only the Keystone. Maybe I'll give it a shot!
